Forks → Forks (disambiguation) – Move to redirect to Fork, the clear primary topic per WP:PLURALPT. Small physical objects that often come in sets and are even used in multiples in table settings. bd2412 T 16:03, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose - In this case I think people looking for the geographical locations (maybe just because of Twilight) are just as likely to search the plural name, to the extent that a dab page makes sense.--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:24, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Tentative support in trust that effective links will be made to the disam pages. Many items on Fork (disambiguation) many be searched for by someone typing "forks". Gregkaye ✍♪ 09:04, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That could be accomplished with a hatnote saying:

How does that strike you? bd2412 T 13:42, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Yaksar. The Forks, Washington page alone gets more than 50% the views of the Fork page, which is well more than what we would expect for a typical plurally titled topic. Dohn joe (talk) 14:43, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support with a concession--definitely, the city should be individually listed in the hatnote at Fork. Yes, many people will search for the town under Forks; upon arriving at the page on forks, they will think "oh, duh" and click on that link and be on their way.

- Actually, delete this disambiguation page and merge it to the singular (Fork (disambiguation)). Red Slash 01:48, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Disagree... We have three DABS at present, this one, Fork (disambiguation) and The Forks, and it's a good setup. Andrewa (talk) 12:45, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:49, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Clear primary topic. Andrewa (talk) 12:45, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
